The Prime Directive is a Starfleet regulation, and thus only applies to Starfleet officers.

I guess…but it seems like Operation Heavenly Sword was supposed to be a low-impact “extraction” of Mithras and the natural resources (ep. 9) by the Seraphim but it turned into a balls-out (ep. 21) occupation, Bush II-style, resulting in a catastrophic alteration of the human-plant-animal ecosystem.
Atys said it best: “Your farms are failing. The animal kingdom wants to eat you for lunch. Your precious indigenous population is forced to hide in caves” (ep. 41).
Emperor Mainyu might not be Starfleet Command but his orders for Serapis didn’t include the FUBARfication of the planet.

OMG Grady you are causing me to have a panic attack about the solidity of my story threads! This comments section will be my undoing! AHH!

Grady, please don’t panic the author. If I didn’t have forming coming regularly in my comics rotation I wouldn’t know what to fill the hole with. Who else updates on a Thursday?

Don’t sweat it…it’s to be expected that shut-ins like myself and JW will discuss the finer points of “Forming.”
